Re: RPG easier/harder to use than other languages?

You raise an interesting question. I do not know the answer to this:

Does adding in that our chosen platform has the ILE environment give us flexibility and choices that other platforms can not provide?

RPG is a general purpose language, so there will be things that other languages do easier/better. A new language may do task x better, but how well does it do tasks w, y and z? Is the superiority for task x so great as to outweigh the inferior performance for tasks w, y and z? How about good enough to warrant adding a new language in your environment (assuming the new language is only used for x)?
